A quick look at my Ropet robot ordered during the Kickstarter campaign last year. I purchased the Ropet Pro bundle without any extras.
My order was from the July shipping update batch. An updated shipping label was created on Monday the 24th of August and my Ropet arrived from China via Korea and Singapore to Brisbane, Australia, today, on Friday the 29th of August.
The eye contact is incredibly precise, and the eyes even dilate after blinking and move much more dynamically than I realised. The details of the eye animations are fascinating to watch- enjoy how they have added fur to the space around the eyes.
If you are looking for a completely different type of robot that goes against the traditional hard plastic design we are so familiar with, then Ropet definitely provides a unique experience. The fur really makes petting Ropet much more organic for the user compared to traditional robots where you can only pat certain areas.
Although it might not seem to do much, I feel for the price it packs a lot of functionality. The vocalisations alone really bring it to life and are so different from anything I’m used to with my other robots. So far I haven’t had time to investigate the app, Ropet works right out of the box. Will update further once I set the Ropet app up.
